I just want one to sign up for telegram, yes yes I know there can be privacy concerns but I'm only going to use it for piracy anyway and gonna enable 2FA . I don't have any mode of online payment and I'm broke anyway, so it has to be free . Looking back on some old reddit threads some seems to work for the people some don't, but those sites are irrelevant today as most have turned to shit or is shut down . I remember google voice being able to do that but I need to have a phone number to make a google account now so I guess its just jumping through hopes for no reason .

I have tried some top results on DDG which all sucks but do drop your reccomends .

Edit : To clear some mistakes in case I wasn't clear I didn't mean using 2FA for anonymity but so that no one else can log in the acc too as it is a public OTP number .

You can't sign up to telegram with the FOSS version, you have to use the Play store.

Most of the online SMS receiving services seem to work, but people are burning new numbers within the hour to sign up to telegram. Sometimes within minutes.

You can use TON crypto to buy a username, but that requires identifying yourself at third party exchanges.

Bluewallet, bitcoin. I've found quite a few Bitcoin Kiosks in the wild (U.S), which still requires a 20, but can go a long way with no need to identify yourself anywhere.
